Global Sunflower Seeds Market Segment Analysis- By Type

The sunflower seeds market based on type can be further segmented into Oilseed and Non-Oilseed. Oilseed held a dominant market share in the year 2021. Sunflower seeds of the oilseed type are the ones that are used to extract oil. The oil obtained from these seeds is edible and contains a lot of nutrients. This is a form of sunflower seed that contains more than half of its weight in oil. Protein and carbohydrates make up the rest of the meal. It's a key element in cooking oils, margarine, and a variety of other items like soaps and biodiesel fuels. When it comes to confectionery things like chocolates, this seed is also becoming more popular.

However, Non-Oilseed is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 4.1% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. These are the seeds that aren't used in the oil extraction process. These Non-oilseeds contain a nutty flavor and are also known as black sunflower seeds. They can be eaten raw or roasted and seasoned with salt.

Global Sunflower Seeds Market Drivers

Growing trends of consuming healthy products have readily aided the market growth.

The rising number of health-consciousness among people gives rise to the trend of consuming healthy items. Sunflower seeds come in a variety of flavors and are commonly eaten as a snack, sprinkled on foods, and added to baked goods. Recently, people are using sunflower oil for daily cooking purposes as it contains various nutritional benefits that help them to get healthier. Manufacturers are focusing on providing healthier product offerings in ready-to-eat processed food. Owing to hectic lifestyles people are consuming processed food in their day-to-day life and most consumers prefer healthy snacks so, manufacturers are increasing the use of sunflower seed oil in various processed foods. Owing to the availability of healthy snacks, the sales of processed food increased at a rate of 10% which in turn enhanced the market growth.

Increasing Inclination Of People Again Towards Farming And Crops Production During COVID-19 Boosted Market Growth. 

The coronavirus pandemic has produced a severe economic downturn and significant disruptions in food supply networks. Infections and quarantine restrictions have also hampered the usual flow of related services and goods. However, in recent months, numerous farmers have increased their concentration on crop production, mostly to earn living in one or the other way during the pandemic resulting in increased production of sunflower seeds. For Instance, Scott Thompson, a farmer from Wisconsin, revealed his desire to grow over 2 million sunflowers across 22 acres of land in over 15 fields in 2020. As a result of initiatives like this, sunflower seed market share penetration should improve in the coming years. So, the escalating sunflower seeds extraction for the production of oils help the manufacturer to regain their share in the sunflower seeds market. 

Global Sunflower Seeds Market Challenges

Growing Prevalence of unwanted weight gain owing to excessive use of sunflower seeds is one of the factors impeding market growth.

Excessive use of sunflower seeds in various products such as snacks, or bakery items surges the unwanted weight gain among consumers. As more than 60% of consumers consume ready-to-eat or processed food for daily purposes owing to the changing lifestyle pattern among people. So, the amount of sunflower seed-based oil is more in these processed foods which further soars the unwanted weight gain among consumers.
